Conceptually and fundamentally a very good idea…. And it had something unique to run with…. But the execution and elaboration totally failed….. the execution was kinda odd esp first 1/3 of the story… I couldn’t tell if they were trying to copy an American film or if it was trying to do a fusion….. was super weird. And they didn’t give the story a proper introduction to do that whole American kinda thing….
Scary bits could totally be improved…. But wasn’t entirely fail… just could tell was a newbie…
I was so pissed off with the ending.... They could of executed it in a way that Johnny plus the bad guys all win…
Hahahaha. I like your sentence “ If you want the audience to support the Police, make the bad guys uncharismstic & evil.... Make the good guys charismatic...” I’ve never thought of it that way but it is so true…
And that damn mansion is so nice… lol. I think it’s a hotel… I have nothing against Johnny Huang, but I find him to be a mediocre actor. Not bad, but not good either…. He has loadsa fans though…. I think it’s coz of the BL drama ages ago.
I actually thought the script was not bad though…. Well not the script, more of the plot was not bad. But then again I think I don’t hold any hope for C-dramas in this genre…… I’ve never watched Stealth Walker before…. Think I came across it, read the synopsis and it didn’t entice me….
I was so pissed off with the ending.... They could of executed it in a way that Johnny plus the bad guys all win…
Exactly! Tony Yang is really good though…. I mean his acting was just amazing. Esp the last scene… he managed to twitch his cheeks but he kept his gaze completely unfazed….. that is some crazy skill. Yea, Johnny Huang has the same expression in every series I’ve watched him in. 😒
Why did they make the ending so predictable. Damnit. I was like….. they definitely could have come up with some twist or something. It’s dumb. The whole series they put in so many twists…
If it was a K-series they would have not been bounded by all these regulatory restrictions. 🤦♀️
Ending was so predictable…….. Mainland will do everything to show that the law and the govt. trumps everything….. =.= though I admit the theme on nature vs. nurture was well played… they totally could have executed it better though
Yea it is but even the novel is quite mellow unlike Untamed with explicit scenes in the novel… I personally…
Yea! Totally… but they are also like probably a decade older and likely more experienced than the Untamed leads (just vaguely recalling from memory, reality could differ)…. That is a significant difference….
No Shitz. I was totally captivated by their chemistry….. like….. 😳. Also coz Simon Gong is very “foxy”….. he’s not exactly feminine but more of androgynous and he is tall!
it’s just really unfortunate on wot happened to Zhang Zhe Han after…. Poor dude. Really blown out of proportion….
Mr Gu is an alcoholic who drinks big amounts of alcohol everyday....and turns out to be so athetlic that he could…
Lol. I thought about that too… but he seems to be a high functioning alcoholic though…. I have met people like that in real life…. And they can do it until their body gives in one day, likely when they are older. Like >50yrs old..
He is truly a man with a strange appeal…. Far from wot I would describe as handsome or good looking but he just has this enigmatic charm… it’s crazy. And he is a damn good actor…
Super weird and odd drama that just caused me to have my eyes glued tight to the screen for the first few episodes. (I watched it with no expectations…., had no idea wot to expect…) I think one reason is that it’s so realistic and applicable to Asian families….
I do think many Asian families, low-middle class…. is like depicted…… and also how it reflects the struggles of the generation in the 27 to 40 yrs old range…. And how there is sucha huge gap in understanding and mentality between that generation and their parents…. Education, stability and how society is now mostly white collared workers…… is something very different versus back in the day…. It is depressing though, but I do believe a lot of people had similar thoughts at some point. I for one could totally relate to so many scenarios if I was dealt the same hands… the dialogues are so relatable….
And Son Seok Kyu… made Mr.Gu super duper charming and attractive although he is really not good looking…. 🤣
It’s amazing how Korean actors are all so consistent and capable/talented…. Esp all the minor and supporting roles…. Like they are so good. It’s crazy… Lee El was like a completely different person versus her role in Goblin…. She was drop dead gorgeous and badass there…. Even spooky and sexy all at the same time…. 😳
The ending is as weird as the whole TV series itself….. was just a very unexpected end… not bad and not good….
The Louis Litt equivalent for this was just so bad… and downright wrong…. The original series was just exceptional…. Season 8,9 might be a bit weak… but… this is a challenging remake. This Korean one was still worthy I spse…. Worth the watch but MDL’s score is totally reflective…
Let's give this a try, I'm a huge fan of the original but I'm tempted to try this version since they chose Jang…
Haha. I was a big fan of the original Suits… I think this one doesn’t really compare but physically (and also his demeanour), the dude does really feel like Mike from the original series. I keep seeing Mike in him. 😳 The rest of the characters are just alright… Jang Dong Gun is like half-ish…., his room presence really doesn’t command the same kinda attention…. But his acting capabilities made up for it, and the plot for him was well-written. All the female characters were disappointing esp given how all the female characters in the original series were like “Wow”. The equivalent of Louis Litt was just downright wrong… 🤦♀️ For one the wardrobe for the entire cast was an epic fail…. And that was an important aspect for the original Suits esp apparent for all the female leads.. the chemistry between both the male leads were solid though, esp the dialogues between them.. that was very similar to the original series.
It’s an okay attempt at a remake I spse… still worthy…
Overall, this is a good, slow-paced drama (if you like that kind of thing). I was left with a few questions at…
1. So that she doesn’t carry that guilt with her especially since they are dating. I might have lied too. It’s just weird. In a way his mother died to save her. 2. Overwhelmed with her mother. Like she has always ran away her whole life… I was a bit surprised when she did it too… but some people choose to relocate to try to start a new life again kinda thing….
Same here.I told a lot of people nivirna in fire is overatted. Very slow drama.JOL tops is for me.
Yeasssss. I mean it was very smart and intricate…. But after I completed it I just felt…. “Sorry… why did I spend all that time watching it….?I mean great, I understood how a person got revenge but like wth… not only was it beyond sad…. Was it really necessary!?!?”
Might be going out on a limb here but this is probably one of the best Chinese movies I’ve watched…
